Hi We need to determine colors for various projects that havent decided on one yet Core - Blue Legacy - Green Extras - ? Documentation - ? Ambassadors -? Foundation/Project -? What about a slogan? - "Do the Right Thing" is good for me from the earlier suggestions. Discuss, decide and go for one now. -- Rahul Learn. Network. Experience open source.

More along this line of discussion: We did take the decision to nix the color schemes. I'm now, in retrospect, not sure how well this was communicated -- evidently not well enough -- so forgive me for that. In related news: we have commissioned a free font for use with Fedora. I don't want to go into too many details on this yet -- I want to make sure that we've got good stuff before I shoot my mouth off too much -- but I see this font being used extensively in conjunction with the logo treatment. --g _____________________ ____________________________________________ Greg DeKoenigsberg ] [ the future masters of technology will have Community Relations ] [ to be lighthearted and intelligent. the Red Hat ] [ machine easily masters the grim and the ] [ dumb. --mcluhan On Thu, 29 Dec 2005, Robert 'Bob' Jensen wrote: > On Thu, 2005-12-29 at 10:39 -0500, Paul W.
